Ford fanatics will adore this recent acquisition here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. We are pleased to offer this 1938 Ford DeLuxe Tudor. This example was recently restored by its former owner, who reportedly used it as a daily driver and sorted the car out over the past year to provide a dependable driving experience.
Freshly restored, this car is dressed in Bright Coach Maroon and the paint and trim are in excellent order. Its new windows are intact and clear while its lights, including its inverted teardropshaped headlamps are hazefree and look great.
This cars bodywork is stunning. Its engine bay is extremely tidy, the battery is new, the cargo area is in very good order, the cars bumpers gleam and fit well to the body it rolls on new wide whitewall steel radial tires, each one surrounding a black, vented steel wheel with a stainless center cap. The wheels are in excellent order.
Under the hood is a rebuilt 221 CID Flathead V8 engine with a larger Stromberg 97 twobarrel carburetor and breathing via dual exhausts. Backing up that motor is a threespeed manual transmission with what the former owner reportedly calls silky, smooth gear shifting. The biggest technical improvement that year was Fords adoption of hydraulic brakes from Lockheed.
Inside, the new LeBaron Bonney tan interior does not disappoint. The bench seats are in excellent condition, as is the headliner, inner door panels and instrument panel. The tan carpet, threespoke DeLuxe banjo steering wheel and gear shifter are all in very good order.While the speedo works, the odo, amp/oilgauge are inop.
1938 DeLuxe models were differentiated with a heartshaped grille, though standard models retained the 1937 look. The fading Slantback sedan design was cancelled for good. Only a V8 was offered, either with 60 or 85horsepower. A new dash was used, with recessed controls for safety.
Competition to this Ford in 1938 included Chevrolets Master Deluxe Coupe, Hudsons 112 Coupe, Grahams Shark Nose Coupe( check our other inventory for more rare beasts), Nashs Ambassador Eight, Plymouths P6 Twodoor Touring, Pontiacs Silver Streak and Studebakers Commander Coupe.
Documentation includes a foam core display board listing the cars renovations and improvement since restored.
